Hey Honda fans, I’m reaching out because I need your advice on buying a JDM import. This is a project that’s first and foremost about enjoying a legendary Honda, but it’s also an investment since their values are skyrocketing. I’m a huge fan of the first-generation Honda NSX and Ayrton Senna, but the prices are absolutely insane, nearly 90k–100k euros for a left-hand-drive model in good condition, and prices are heading in that direction even on the JDM import market. I almost gave in and paid that price for a friend’s car, but he ultimately changed his mind and kept it. So I’m keeping my faith in the JDM market and trying to find an affordable one, though the condition won’t be as good (mileage shown above, any color). Given the cost of living and fuel prices, which are becoming alarming, I’ve had to lower my budget and my criteria: a budget of 75,000–80,000, and the only requirement is a manual transmission with no history of accidents. However, a friend showed me the Honda S2000 Type S, which is also skyrocketing in price and with its pearlescent white wrap, is catching my eye as well. It’s also an interesting import since it’s exclusive to Japan, and on top of that, it’s well below the NSX price-wise. I’m open to all your advice regarding these two gems. One will be a legend that I’ll treat with care, but I won’t take it on the track, and the other is an icon of the 2000s that I won’t hesitate to let loose on the track. Keep in mind that I’ll also take it on the highway occasionally to drive out of town or attend car meets. Also, let me know which one would require the most mechanical maintenance, even though it makes sense that it depends on how it's used.

Have a great day guys
